Document A

Hydroelectric Project 271-ARLakes Hamilton and Catherine are part of Project 271, a hydroelectric project licensed by the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (FERC). The pools of these reservoirs, associated Carpenter and Remmel Dams and project lands are managed byEntergy pursuant to a license granted by the FERC.

Entergy Property RightsAssociated with the formation of Lakes Hamilton and Catherine, Entergy acquired shoreline lands and lands underlying the

reservoirs. Generally Entergy owns property rights to the 400-ft. contour elevation on Lake Hamilton and to the 307-ft. contouron Lake Catherine. Normal pool level for Lake Hamilton is the 399.70-ft. elevation. Normal pool level for Lake Catherine is the304-ft. elevation. It should be noted that the extent of Entergy's ownership of shoreline land does vary. Also, in many locations,Entergy possesses flowage easements extending beyond Entergy's property ownership. Please carefully check ownership recordsfor your property.

Private Shoreline Recreation Facilities/ActivitiesThe license granted by the FERC authorizes Entergy to issue permits for certain private facilities and activities for use by

single-family dwellings along Entergys shoreline land and on Lakes Hamilton and Catherine. Request for private facilities thatare to accommodate more than 10 watercrafts and/or are to be used by multi-family dwellings or commercial operations will notonly require Entergy approval but additional regulatory review and approval from FERC.

Entergy may conditionally permit adjoining lakefront property owners to access and use Project lands and waters. Private useof Project lands and waters by adjoining lakefront property owners is a privilege granted by Entergy. In exchange for thisprivilege, adjoining lakefront property owners must comply with all permits conditions, Entergys regulations, specifications andrequirements, as well as all applicable Federal, State and local regulations.

The most requested private permits are for boat docks, pwc ramps/lifts, piers, retaining walls and placement of riprap alongthe shoreline associated with non-commercial residential use or development. To request a permit one must submit to Entergy acomplete application that includes drawings of the location, design and dimensions and a description of material and constructiontype. All facilities must conform to Entergy's general specifications, which are subject to revisions without notice. Please be sureyou have the most up-to-date specifications and application form by contacting Entergys Hydro Operations at 501-844-2148 orby visiting us on the Web at www.entergy.com/hydro.

Entergy Water RightsThrough its license from the FERC, Entergy has exclusive right to the waters of Lakes Hamilton and Catherine for

hydroelectric purposes. Entergy must authorize the use of this water. Any use other than simple water withdrawal for single-residence grounds irrigation also requires Entergy and possibly FERC approval.

Entergy Permit ConditionsEntergy may grant conditional permits for private facilities and activities to adjoining lakefront property owners. Private use

of Entergys Project lands and waters or access across Entergys shoreline lands is a privilege granted by Entergy. In exchangefor this privilege, adjoining lakefront property owners must comply with all permits conditions, Entergys regulations,specifications and requirements, as well as all applicable Federal, State and local regulations.

The installation of any permitted facilities or structure in the reservoir or on the shoreline is to be considered as temporary.All facilities or structures are to be constructed of such materials and in such a manner that would allow easy removal andrestoration of the shoreline. Entergys guidelines and requirements are subject to revision without notice. Be sure to obtain thelatest private facility permitting information.

Other Permits, Licenses, Approvals, Reviews, Certifications, Etc.In the event Entergy agrees to allow a private facility on Project 271 land and waters, the applicant must obtain all other

required approvals. For instance fill and dredging activities may require a U.S. Army Corps of Engineer wetlands permit andother facilities may require the approval of a property owner association or subdivision developer.

Applications for private ramps, private developments, cut-in type boat slips and other shoreline activities requiring cuttingand active disturbance of bank/shoreline areas will require a 30 day review/comment period by the Arkansas State HistoricPreservation Office. Even if Entergy grants a private facility permit, the responsibility remains with the applicant to obtain otherFederal, State and local authorizations or permits as required by law and to comply with any property owners association orsubdivision bill of assurances, covenants or bylaws and all applicable building codes.

Permits RevocableAll permits are conditional and may be revoked at the discretion of Entergy. All unpermitted facilities must be removed at

the owners expense.
